Peter Guber is an American movie executive, producer, author, and sports team owner. He joined Columbia Pictures in 1968 while studying for an MBA at New York University.

By 2001, films connected to him had grossed over $3 billion worldwide and received 50 Academy Award nominations. In sports, he became part of the group that bought the Golden State Warriors in 2010 for $450 million. He also holds stakes in the Los Angeles Dodgers and Los Angeles FC.
How Peter Guber makes money
Guber built his career inside the movie business before expanding into team ownership. He started at Columbia Pictures in 1968 and moved into senior production roles. He later worked as chairman and CEO of PolyGram Pictures, co-owned the Guber-Peters Company, and then led Sony Pictures as co-chairman and CEO. In 1994, he formed Mandalay Entertainment, which added another long-running business tied to films, television, sports entertainment, and digital media.
Sports ownership became a major part of his fortune. Forbes says he owns an estimated 15% of the Golden State Warriors and serves as co-executive chairman with Joe Lacob. He was in the group that bought the team in 2010 for $450 million, and Forbes now values the Warriors at $8.8 billion. Forbes also notes that he owns an estimated 3% of the Los Angeles Dodgers and is executive chair and co-owner of Los Angeles FC.
Forbes value and key money drivers
Forbes estimated Guber's net worth at $1.5 billion in 2025, repeated that estimate in 2026, and its real-time tracker still showed the same level on October 20, 2026. That steady reading points to a fortune tied less to short-term headlines and more to ownership stakes. His holdings sit in sports and movies, with the Warriors standing out as the best-known asset in the Forbes profile.
The strongest money story in his profile is the gap between the Warriors' 2010 purchase price and Forbes' later team valuation. Guber joined the buying group when the franchise sold for $450 million. Forbes now values the team at $8.8 billion, and it says he owns an estimated 15%. His movie career also matters, because he spent decades leading studios and production companies behind films that earned over $3 billion worldwide by 2001.
